LONDON - Pep Guardiola ripped into his Manchester City players in the dressing room on Tuesday night - despite notching a 17th consecutive victory in all competitions.

Raheem Sterling’s late winner eased Feyenoord aside and extended a club record of wins on the spin, but Ivory Coast midfielder Yaya Toure (right) revealed the City manager was incensed by his team’s lack of cutting edge.

"Sometimes, when the manager makes changes, then maybe in your head you’re not so focused and we don’t concentrate," said Toure.

"We miss easy passes and we miss easy chances. The manager at the end was quite angry with the team.

"We can do better than that. We played lazily. You have to respect the opponent and the way to do that is to score goals."

Guardiola warned City about the potential for complacency last week and Toure addressed whether staying motivated for what appear to be routine games could become a problem.
